Jim:
Thanks for this report.
The basic idea of an upended can has appeared a few times on various lists, but
I recall no one reporting the regular use as much as you below.
The beauty of this approach to making char - is that every bit of the valuable
pyrolysis gases are being used productively - to heat your home.
I am pleased to hear that the ammo cans are holding up. They seem like a good
size. Can you describe their cost and where you have found them?

Subject: [biochar] Woodstove Biochar Fuel Cell
I have been reading the site for a couple years now and have learned quite a
bit, but I have not yet heard of anybody making biochar in their woodstoves.
I fill an ammo can, 6"x12"x6", with dry wood and fill in the cracks with wood
pellets. The can is placed upsidedown in a hot bed of coals and I burn it hot
until it is degassed and the temperature has cooled. With thick leather gloves,
the can is removed from the fire and placed on the brick hearth to cool. If it
smokes at this stage it has not been degassed and still has lignocellulosic
material to carbonize.
I burn 1-3 of these cans in my woodstove daily producing a uniform two pounds of
biochar which I post treat in my compost pile. The steel in an ammo can is of
high quality because it is going strong after more than 40 burns. I cycle 3
cans.
I have made hundreds of pounds of biochar with outside methods and have spent a
couple thousand dollars on materials and fabrication, but with this method
(stealing others' promotion):
iCan HEAT MY HOME WITH FUEL FROM HEAVEN
iCan IMPROVE MY SOIL
iCan FEED MY FAMILY WITH THE BEST VEGETABLES
iCan IMPROVE THE ATMOSPHERE AND BE CARBON NEGATIVE
iCan MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
This is a simple and functional way to produce biochar for the home.
Try it, you'll be amazed. Remember, two pounds is two pounds times a thousand
years. It adds up quickly.
